What you get

  • Module 01 - Camera Settings That Survive a Wedding Day: the exposure triangle as muscle memory, white balance, reading the histogram, and 5 scene-by-scene settings cards
  • Module 02 - Gear & The Pre-Day Checklist: the lens kit that covers a whole day, the pack list with zero single points of failure, and settings to lock in before you arrive
  • Module 03 - Composition: the six tools (rule of thirds, leading lines, framing, symmetry, three-layer depth, angle) that separate your work from a guest's phone
  • Module 04 - Capturing the Couple: the first look, portraits, detail shots, and prompt scripts that create real emotion instead of stiff posing
  • Module 05 - The Wedding Day Shot List: the full must-have list in order of the day, plus the pre-wedding consultation checklist
  • Module 06 - Editing in Lightroom: the exact 5-step import, cull, develop, batch-sync, and deliver workflow for a consistent gallery
  • Module 07 - Pricing for Profit: your true costs, market research, tiered packages, value-based selling, and upsells
  • Module 08 - Running It Like a Real Business: goals, brand, client management, taxes, and follow-up systems
  • 8 copy-paste AI prompt templates (one per module) for personalized settings cards, gear audits, posing scripts, shot lists, edit fixes, pricing tiers, and a 90-day plan
  • Direct line to Gabriel for a portfolio review or personal feedback

Right for you if

  • Aspiring photographers who want to shoot their first wedding without fumbling the settings
  • Hobbyists with a camera who keep getting asked 'will you shoot my wedding?' and want to say yes confidently
  • Second shooters ready to lead their own weddings and charge for it
  • Portrait or event photographers adding weddings as a new income stream
  • Beginners who are decent behind the camera but have no idea what to charge

Not the fit if

  • Seasoned wedding pros who already shoot in full manual and run tiered pricing
  • People who want a gear-buying guide with specific camera model recommendations
  • Anyone unwilling to practice between modules; reading alone won't make you fast
